Harley Benton SC-Custom Plus EMG OCF

Home playing guitar family man, was saving money for some quality instrument like Fender USA but Thomann make me to let go the plan, for now.
This guitar is a real deal, the pickups are amazing, hot 70's retroactive, they are warm in clean sounds, in crunch mode they give nice bluesy sounds and they can go wild with distortion. I could get nice lead sound like Petrucci. EMG=OMG
Guitar neck is fantastic, fast, frets are excellent made, modern c shape, love it!
Beautiful color, nice flame, darker than on the web page of Thomann.
Only thing that is weak point of this well made guitar is the nut, could be cut more deeper because strings look like they jump out from the nut, anyway they stay in place, I'll fix that later.
Ladies and genleman, get one because they go really fast, for real!

You really can't beat the price point on this guitar. The pickups retail for 199 and this guitar sells for 419. If this were an Epiphone, I would've paid at least 650 on sale. SC-Custom PLUS EMG OCF was playable out of the box: I only had to make a slight adjustment to the G string to bring it into tune. The hardware feels solid, the guitar stays in tune, and has a nice punch to the sound. Not to like: the cheap looking truss rod cover, and if you are less than a foot away from the headstock you can see overspray resulting in uneven lines between the binding and black. I feel kind of nitpicky just mentioning it. Very happy customer. Looking forward to purchasing another HB guitar!
